Fingerprint scanners provide businesses and individuals with a perfect way to increase security. Most scanners can operate off of a USB port, are easy to set up and inexpensive to use. If you are considering buying a fingerprint scanner, there are several great choices available.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Comparison shop before buying a fingerprint scanner. Most of these biometric tools offer out-of-the-box setup. If you want the scanner for your computer, you can select Dell's opti-mouse, which has the technology built into the mouse. If you want the scanner for business use (for employee entry into the business or secure areas), you can get Wasp Tech's Time and Attendance Biometric.

  2. Step 2

    Get yourself a laptop fingerprint scanner to keep your information secure when you travel. There are some great portable products out there offering biometric security via fingerprint scan. Try the Gamber Panasonic MDWD Cradle. Or, pay a bit more and get the Cables to Go USB Fingerprint Reader.

  3. Step 3

    Trade in the keys to your front door for a biometric doorlock. If you want to go high-tech and feel even more secure in your home, grab a Biolock deadbolt fingerprint lock. Or, if you want something a bit more sophisticated for your office doors, get a biometric fingerprint ID doorlock with keypad.

  4. Step 4

    Get a biometric flash drive. If you carry flash drives with you and store sensitive information on them, you can pick up a biometric security flash drive.

  5. Step 5

    Enjoy enhanced security for your computer, your home or your office. Fingerprint scanners offer you the unique guarantee that no one can break the code and access your private domains. Your fingerprint is yours and it cannot be replicated.
